    Default I Need your help guys


    I am going back to the real oven and away from the toaster onve because of the more accurate temps and I know then I can cur most all I do in 10 minutes and not 15, but it takes our regular oven for that. So right now and actually going back before the toaster oven I had been using a baking rack and could hang maybe 60-70 jigs on it and cure them, but I want more so do any of you have something I can make from what ever into a jig holding for curing thing? I would like to be able to cure somewhere between 250 and 500 at one shot. Got anyone that has something I can do that with and a picture so I can see it?

    Thanks,

    skip, I use a gutter guard, its a mesh that goes over the gutters to keep the leaves out. really cheap too. bend the ends so it will sit up right. We can cure 500 jigs at a time useing them. you can cut out the middle section to hold more jigs on each rack if needed

    Crappieday I thought I remembered someone saying something like this the other day and I will sure look at that. Sounds plenty versatile too.

    If I was doing that many I would find an extra oven rack, cut out most of the middle rods and put hardware cloth on it. Could do hundreds that way at one time. Could also take a dremel to an oven rack as is and put small grooves in it to keep the jig heads in place.

    Depending on the oven rack you could simply put hardware cloth on it and use it that way. I can only guess how many a 1/4 inch mesh hardware cloth will allow and the different sizes of hardware cloth allows for lots of options for different sized heads. May be able to cure 3 racks at the same time, I imagine that could be as many as 1,500 or more.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    I picked up an old propane travel home range. It has burners on top and an oven on the bottom. I melt my lead on top to clean it and cure heads on the racks. Yhe only thing I did was pull the racks , take a pair of clip pliers for building rabbit cages and place the clips on the wires with a space between to hang hooks. I can do 250 heads easy . The thing thing will sit on a work bench tank underneath only uses about 20'' of a table.
